Why?
Unbearably HoT was created to fill what I perceived as a gap between casual and endgame experiences in blogging, specifically for Druids. Initially, my goal was to explore the supposedly “hardcore” raiding culture with an irreverent mix of heavily interpreted game-mechanics and sexual innuendo, a veritable marriage of information and entertainment. Since its conception in February of 2008, a cornucopia of blogs by players at similar progression levels sprung up, diversifying the so-called WoW blogosphere and adding some muchly needed perspective.
This blog is a journey, a chronicle of progression, wit, and observation. As my life has undergone various changes that naturally entail rescheduling my playtime, I’ve made tough decisions about my raiding habits and currently do not commit to a five day a week guild anymore (or rather, at the moment). Despite changes to my schedule, however, my mindset hasn’t deviated. Inside the World of Warcraft and out, I demand perfection or at least gradually improving competence, and Unbearably HoT hopes to cater to those who share similar desires.
The language here will never be entirely worksafe, the emphasis glaring keenly toward performance rather than friendship, and conversation doesn’t always default to “polite.” I make up words when it suits me. I am incredibly critical of both myself and my peers, and I do not easily forget when my integrity is wrongly questioned. Constructive criticism is a must, and praise is necessary when due.
If you’re not interested in what may be a heavily biased (yet informed) and occasionally dorky perspective on raiding and up and coming Druid changes, Unbearably HoT probably isn’t for you. Don’t worry—I’m not offended.
It rather goes without saying, but World of Warcraft and all related indicia is copyrighted by Blizzard Entertainment.
